In the new cover story for Famous Magazine, TRANSFORMERS REVENGE OF THE FALLEN star Shia LaBeouf talks about blowing shit up and says director Michael Bay is better this time.

{sidebar id=1}Here are some excerpts, check out the entire interview here.

On director Michael Bay,

Mike has been better this time, hes more comfortable and hes doing different stuff, says LaBeouf, looking buff but for the cast on his broken hand, during an interview in Los Angeles last autumn. Its wild to watch Mike grow up and to acknowledge it. Every filmmaker, every movie out, something changes. You either gain something or you lose something, and I think this time Mike has gained a lot. I also think working with Steven is really transforming Mike. His preparation is very different on this one than it was on the first one.

On the new film's pace and action,

Its bigger, faster and stronger than what we did the first time, he says. Were blowing everything up. I was just at Holloman Air Force Base, where we blew up an entire town! There are new characters that are interesting. Our banter is fast and its fun, its table tennis.

On his character Sam and working with co-star Jon Turturro,

Theres cool stuff that happens to Sam. Sam starts to lose his mind. He starts having visions of his grandfather, Archibald Witwicky, and thats fun to play around with. And recess time with John Turturro [who plays the addled fed constantly at odds with Sam] is always fun. Its like Groundlings Theater, LaBeouf says, referencing the L.A. comedy troupe whose alumni include Will Ferrell and Lisa Kudrow. Youre ad libbing all day long. One of the beautiful things about Mike is that hell allow it. You can do free-form thought the whole day.

On his current action star status -

Somethings obviously off; nobody expects Garry Shandling to save the world.
